| Тойм: | Chronic diseases have the particularity that, since they are prevalent throughout a person's life, it is up to the individual to manage them at home, based on the knowledge they have, the indications given by health professionals, the availability of resources, their own beliefs and the social support they have, thus leaving a large amount of work for health personnel to address. Of the chronic noncommunicable diseases, the most prevalent in the country are those of the circulatory system, including heart failure.
